   i was wondering about that... with the .qqq extension, that should be OK but   
   then the question comes about if FMail supports fileboxes and if so, where   
   does it create the .qqq files? anything in a filebox is sent to the system   
   assigned to that box... i've got one link, now, that is insisting on sharing   
   one mailer with two different nodes and routing is broken such that they're   
   sending my system .out files for their other system where they are trying to   
   route the mail to... it is a mess and i'm not sure what else to say to get   
   them to change their setup and use two binkd installs with different ports,   
   directories and fileboxes... it should be really easy to do with one binary   
   and two different config files but... back to the point, if something tries to   
   create a temp file in the filebox and then rename it to whatever its proper   
   name should be, binkd may have already sent it off since there's no semaphores   
   to tell binkd to not process that filebox at that point in time...
